IP480: Counter/Timer Module Description

IP480 modules provide up to six counter/timer channels for counting events, generating waveform control signals, measuring pulse-widths or periodic rates, and monitoring operations.

Support for internal or external triggering simplifies the synchronization of operations to specific events. Counter functions can use internally generated clocks or an externally supplied clock.

IP480: Counter/Timer Module Performance Specifications

Counter/Timers

Counter/timer configuration:
IP480-6: Six 16-bit counter/timer function groups.
IP480-2: Two 16-bit counter/timer function groups.
Any two 16-bit counters may be combined together to create a 32-bit counter.

Speed (with 8MHz internal clock):
Max. output pulse/square wave freq.: 4MHz.
Minimum event pulse width: 130nS.
Minimum pulse width measurement: 250nS.
Minimum period measurement: 250nS.

Mode accuracy (with external clocking):
Waveform generation: Period is ±62nS.
Watchdog: Timeout occurs within ±1 clock cycle.
Pulse/period measurement: ±1 clock cycle.

Internal clocks: Programmable 1, 4, or 8MHz.
External clocks: Separate clock input for each counter supports frequencies up to 7MHz.

Counter trigger: External inputs for triggering counter functions.
Input level is TTL or CMOS compatible. Vih=2.0V, Vil=0.8V. Inputs are buffered and include 4.7K ohm pull-ups to +5V.

Input voltage range: 0 to 5V.
Input requirements: 2.0V DC minimum high level, 0.8V DC maximum low level, 10μA maximum current.
Output: Non-isolated open drains of N-channel mosfets with socketed 4.7K ohms pull-up resistor SIP. Drains protected to 60V DC and sink up to 250mA each.
Output range (low side switch): 0 to 5V with internal supply. 0 to 60V with pull-ups to external supply.
Output open drain pull-ups: A 4.7K ohms pull-up resistor SIP. Power limited to 0.15W/resistor.
Output relays: SPDT (Form C) electromechanical relays (one per counter) controlled in watchdog timer mode. Contacts rated to 125V AC, 1A.

IP Compliance (ANSI/VITA 4)

Meets all written IP specs per ANSI/VITA 4-1995.
IP data transfer cycle types supported: Input/output (IOSel*), ID read (IDSel*), Interrupt select (INTSel*).
Access times (8MHz clock):
Read/write cycles: 0 wait states (250ns cycle);
1 wait state (375nS cycle) to read the counter readback register.

Environmental

Operating temperature: 0 to 70°C (IP480-2/6) or -40 to 85°C (IP480-2E/6E).
Storage temperature: -55 to 125°C (all models).
Relative Humidity: 5 to 95% non-condensing.
MTBF: Consult factory.
Power: +5V (±5%): 255mA max. (-6), 110mA (-2).
±12V (±5%) from P1: 0mA max. (not used).
